Since the short-term average is above the long-term average there is a general buy signal in the stock giving a positive forecast for the stock. On further gains, the stock will meet resistance from the short-term Moving Average at approximately $23.61.

A break-up through the short-term average will send a buy signal, whereas a breakdown through the long-term average will send a sell signal. Furthermore, there is a buy signal from the 3 month Moving Average Convergence Divergence (MACD). Some negative signals were issued as well, and these may have some influence on the near short-term development. A sell signal was issued from a pivot top point on Friday, April 26, 2024, and so far it has fallen -1.13%. Further fall is indicated until a new bottom pivot has been found.

One should, however, note that this stock may have low liquidity in periods, which increases the general risk. The stock had a Golden Star Signal on Friday, April 19, 2024 in the short-term chart.

Trading Expectations (SAR) For The Upcoming Trading Day Of Monday 6th

For the upcoming trading day on Monday, 6th we expect Saratoga Investment Corp to open at $23.63, and during the day (based on 14 day Average True Range), to move between $23.28 and $23.86, which gives a possible trading interval of +/-$0.288 (+/-1.22%) up or down from last closing price. If Saratoga Investment Corp takes out the full calculated possible swing range there will be an estimated 2.44% move between the lowest and the highest trading price during the day.

Since the stock is closer to the resistance from accumulated volume at $23.60 (0.13%) than the support at $23.14 (1.82%), our systems don't find the trading risk/reward intra-day attractive and any bets should be held until the stock is closer to the support level.
